Talented leaders who know exactly what they want to do still shoot themselves in the foot. Dr. Elizabeth Deggie Dubois, conflict resolution expert and executive coach, cuts through coaching industry "sparkle mumbo jumbo" to reveal the real reason behind professional self-sabotage.

With a Ph.D. in conflict resolution and expertise in women's safety issues, Dr. Liz pinpoints why smart, skilled professionals remain stuck despite having clear vision and talent. Her approach focuses on safety - not comfort zones, but genuine psychological safety to step into your next level identity.

The breakthrough question that unlocks every client's self-sabotage pattern: "What about the thing you want would piss off the people who raised you?" This simple inquiry immediately reveals the societal programming and parental expectations blocking forward momentum.

Dr. Liz's clients typically see 25% income increases quickly, with many doubling their earnings within two years. Her three-month intensive coaching gets to root causes that years of therapy and productivity courses often miss. Instead of endless personal development, she provides targeted strategy to stop the specific behaviors keeping leaders from their calling.

Her personal milestone involves deepening her son's middle school community connections while writing her novel "Bad Mom" - a story of recovery, professional success, and authentic motherhood after overcoming addiction.

Ready to stop fighting yourself and unlock your potential? Dr. Liz helps leaders identify and eliminate the precise patterns sabotaging their success.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
